    LTH,

    In the same spirit as the Bend-Over Files (or perhaps the opposite spirit) here's my secret to a bend-backwards breakfast.

    Sophia's House of Pancakes in Highland, IN offers breakfast dishes that rarely fit on the tables they are served on. It's a rare occasion that I'm able to finish.

    The best deal they offer are the 1 and 2 egg dishes with a variety of meats. Both versions usually come with 4 to 5 eggs, a half plate piled with hash browns, and 3 pancakes (or toast). They also make dutch and german styled baked pancakes (my favourite are baked with apples in the bottom of the pan) that are big enough to feed a whole table. I can't recall the exact prices, but they're pretty cheap.

    Where are other places that the rest of you go when ravenously hungry and short on cash?

    So, it's like false advertising that benefits the customer?

    I wouldn't call it false advertising, more like an unadvertised "buy two eggs, get three free" sale.

    It's also always bogo eggs at VIPS in Danville, Illinois. The waitress will always ask you if she's never seen you before, "You do know that one egg means two here, and two eggs means four, right?"

    I always feel like I'm stealing when I go to Riviera for a sub. Tremendous quality and generous quantity for a four dollar sandwich. I'm always tempted to tell them to charge me more,it would still be worth it.
